'Turkana pt 1', 2024 

Turkana County, Northern Kenya

Sound & Video

​

In February 2024 I headed to Kenya for the first phase of an ongoing project documenting the wide range of livelihood practices among the Turkana in collaboration with social anthropologist and photographer Sam Derbyshire. Our work is focused on challenging dominant narratives of pastoralism by highlighting it's unique capacity for being productive by means of uncertainty. 

 

Sam's current field work is being funded through the British Museum's endangered material knowledge programme. Learn more about the programme here: https://www.emkp.org/lake-turkana-in-the-making-documenting-the-mobile-material-knowledge-of-drylands-pastoralism-in-northern-kenya/
